Podcasts about Bain

Melissa Dinwiddie doesn't have an MBA. She's never worked for a consulting giant, such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting, or Bain. She is a ukulele-playing, jazz-singing, Julliard-trained dancer and improv entertainer. Yet when companies, including Meta, Google, Uber, Intuit, and Salesforce, seek fresh thinking on innovation and team creativity, they turn to Melissa for results. Melissa draws parallels between performance troupes, such as her All That Jazz improv jazz group, and business teams. To be successful, she notes, all members must listen closely, support one another, adapt on the fly, and create something from nothing.   Melissa is the founder and CEO of Creative Sandbox Solutions, communication, connection, and creativity experts. Her firm's specialty is helping teams blast through creative roadblocks. She is the author of The Creative Sandbox Way: Your Path to a Full-Color Life, which she wrote to help readers be comfortable with and embrace their own, authentic creativity. As Melissa explains this week, her unconventional background and unorthodox methods —  including having six- and seven-figure salaried executives build with Lego bricks — consistently unlock breakthrough ideas and enhance team performance.

Episode 251: In 2018, Dell set out to do something big: turn customer feedback into a system that could not only provide insights, but help set priorities and run the business. They had the data. They had the intent. But they made a compromise that many organizations settle on: Rather than enforce one unified approach to customer feedback, they allowed each team to build its own. While this helped with initial adoption and change management, it also led to fragmentation—multiple tools, different methods, no shared truth. And it got worse over time. Real progress ultimately would require centralizing what had become scattered. When Dell's Marc Stein appeared on this podcast in 2018 (episode 129), the company had just completed its EMC merger and launched a chief customer office. The ambition: one integrated Net Promoter System to tie sentiment to economics and put the customer at the center of every decision. But good intentions ran into a harsh reality: Every function was listening to customers, but no one was hearing the same thing.  In this episode, Mike Valanzola, Dell's Senior Director of Voice of Customer and NPS Operations, picks up the story. He explains how misaligned tools, siloed ownership, and governance gaps made customer feedback hard to act on. His team didn't want to tear down what existed. Instead, they brought it together. Through consolidation, centralization, shared standards, and stronger governance, they transformed scattered signals into an enterprise-wide system of action. The turning point came with the Customer Experience Roadmap and Accreditation. The CXRA gave Dell a framework to drive internal accountability and rebuild trust in the system. As Mike describes, cross-functional teams now meet weekly to act on shared signals. Tomorrow's goal? Make every employee a promoter and make every signal actionable.

The reason for that came down to every function across the company, ultimately doing their own listening programs, using their own application, governing how they listened, controlling what they got back, and not sharing it.” [18:00]  ”We had been really in a run-the-business function, really focused on  NPS management, really focused on owning  that measurement for the company. And now, I was proposing a large-scale, end-to-end corporate transformation that was going to require my own team  to think about how we operate, and effectively operate differently.” [28:00] Additional Resources Hear our 2018 podcast with Marc Stein on Dell's original CX ambition, Bringing Net Promoter to Scale Learn more about Bain's MyCX Roadmap & Accreditation

The LIT podcast hits the big 5-0. For Episode 50, Bobby and Sam sit down with former Brandeis Division III All-American Toby Harris and his head coach—and repeat LIT guest—Jean Bain. Harris is moving on from Brandeis, using his fifth year of eligibility to transfer to Division I Iona—with Bain's full support. Together, they talk about their player-coach relationship, how that bond carries on beyond wins, and how Bain made good on his promise to help Harris move up if he put in the work. The duo get into how Bain stood by Harris through injury setbacks, NIL challenges, and why, in an era where many coaches focus only on what a player can do for them, Bain stayed true to his word. Harris also shares what drew him to Brandeis, growing up in North Carolina, and navigating the evolving NIL landscape.

Tariff turmoil, trade wars and real conflict in the Middle East – these are just some of the challenges private equity participants have had to navigate so far this year. Speaking to senior editor Adam Le, David Gross, co-managing partner at Bain Capital, said volatility and uncertainty is nothing new for investors. “I'd be the first to agree that it's a very disorienting time period,” Gross said. He points out, however, that volatility and uncertainty have characterised almost the past two decades. “Since the global financial crisis, we've seen heightened volatility in the investing world. If you just look at the VIX [volatility index] and other metrics, and the market windows that are open in the public market, you've seen heightened volatility." Gross, who has been with the firm for 25 years and is also managing partner of Asia, discusses what effective investors need in uncertain environments, the attraction of defence investing in Europe, the exit environment, and why the firm has no current plans to launch a secondaries investment business.

Show Notes: Brian Stollery talks about AlphaSense, an information provider that independent consultants and boutique firms are using to gain an edge over those who rely on chat GPT or consumer LLM tools. AlphaSense is built for this kind of work, pulling in verified content such as industry reports, broker research filings, earnings calls, expert calls, news, and internal research and internal content. It layers this with market-leading AI functionality that can read and synthesize all of it to deliver consulting-grade insights at scale. AlphaSense Explained Brian clarifies that AlphaSense is not primarily an expert network like AlphaSights, but rather a market company and enterprise intelligence search engine for the AI generation. It offers the depth and breadth of authoritative data that would be obtained from a legacy research platform with the intuitive user experience of modern AI tools. The value of AlphaSense lies in the deep, authoritative content set that is the foundation of AlphaSense, along with the speed and accuracy of the AI that allows users to quickly surface relevant insights. Brian also talks about the major categories of sources of proprietary information that feed into AlphaSense. The AlphaSense Platform The AlphaSense platform features an index where users can go to different things, such as portfolio monitors, research topics, expert insights, news, risk signals on consumer tech growth investment strategy, events, company documents, and talent job executive movements. The dashboard includes eight or nine widgets that provide a list of seven or eight articles on various topics. These articles are sourced from various sources, such as news articles or interviews with experts. The platform also has over 200,000 free recorded, transcribed expert calls, which are added to the library for analysis by the AI. How AlphaSense Gathers Information The interviewers are usually conducted by-side analysts, corporate users, and experts in respective fields. They work with corporate development teams and head of corporate strategy to conduct these interviews. The platform believes that a rising tide lifts all boats, and every expert call that happens throughout the AlphaSense is published back in the platform to further enhance and grow its library of expert calls from subject matter experts who are currently active in their industry.   AlphaSense Use Cases In management consulting, AlphaSense may not be suitable for calls that would be better suited to AlphaSights where the information is sensitive or should have restricted access.  However, the use case for AlphaSense is for commercial due diligence for private equity, where it allows users to get up to speed for engagement and quickly search across benchmark expert perspectives. This allows them to bolster their expertise within the management consulting space. AlphaSense is an institutional grade content engine that consolidates information from various sources, including expert calls, news, research reports, broker research, and more. It offers over 6000 vetted business and market news sources and trade journals, most of which require paywalls. AlphaSense allows users to bypass these paywalls and provides real-time insights from over 700 partners.   The AlphaSense Dashboard The dashboard includes relevant documents related to executive movements, risk signals, growth, and investment strategies. Users can explore the dashboard by searching for trigger words related to their watchlist of consumer tech companies. The AI can then pull relevant documents, such as expert insights, event transcripts, press releases, and news, to provide valuable insights for business development or due diligence. The Executive Search Function The document search module within AlphaSense allows users to get forensic insights from relevant documents, such as executive search, talent, and hiring practices. The AI can also generate summary responses, which are useful for top-tier consulting use cases. However, the AI may sometimes make a guess or hallucination if an answer is not available. This is why the Big Three and Big Four rely on AlphaSense for their consulting use cases. The AlphaSense Research Tool The AlphaSense generative search tool is a research analyst team in a box. The tool is designed to answer macro business questions, such as market size or pricing trends. Brian checks McKinsey, Bain and BCG's performance in 2025, including their revenue, talent, hiring, and growth areas. The AI agent breaks down these questions into subquestions and finds 3000 documents across the content library. It then extracts documents from expert calls, press releases, investor relations presentations, research reports, and sustainability reports. The AI outputs a summary of the documents. The tool is particularly useful for understanding the performance of consulting firms like McKinsey Bain and BCG. Quality Sources and Quantitative Data AlphaSense provides bullet points on McKinsey, revenue, growth, talent, and hiring, with links to expert calls and other sources of data. The AI outputs are deep linked and cited to the source, ensuring accuracy. For instance, McKinsey Sciences for Growth, a 2025 focus, integrates tech-enabled capabilities and AI. BCG reported $13.5 billion in 2024 revenue, achieving 10% global growth and expanding its workforce to 33,000 employees. AlphaSense also has sentence-level citations, ensuring every sentence is deep linked and cited to its source. AlphaSense uses various models from partners like open AI, sonnet four, and Gemini 2.5, all grounded in high-quality, relevant documents. The tool's intelligence selects the best model based on the use case, whether it's reasoning-based or quantitative or qualitative. The AI is a comprehensive market-leading library of authoritative content that consultants care about. Modes of Research and Meeting Prep for Management Consultants Brian shares the typical use cases for management consultants using generative search platforms. He highlights two modes: think longer and deep research. Brian used generative search to prepare for a meeting with a client at a mid-sized consulting firm, focusing on digital strategy. The AI summarized transcripts, expert calls, earnings calls, and press releases from iHeart, highlighting the company's focus on technology, digitization, and AI-enabled automation as the key to cost savings and digital revenue acceleration. The platform also offers an iPhone app for on-the-go access to insights. The AI analyzed bullet points and planned insights on every section, creating a comprehensive competitive intelligence report. The report includes chatter on core service offerings, engagement models, pricing structures, sector specialization, news partnerships, partnerships, and tech bets.    AlphaSense's Generative Grid Brian talks about using AlphaSense's generative grid, which is a generative AI-powered spreadsheet to aggregate documents and interrogate them. This is useful for tracking executive compensation and performance components for target accounts. The grid allows consulting users to analyze past performance and understand the current climate. Another use case is connecting consulting, transformation, and strategic advisory services to key performance indicators, such as free cash flow, human capital, strategic objectives, or EBITDA. By attaching value drivers directly to performance components, consultants can focus on adjusted EBITDA growth, cost optimization, Target, discover integration execution drive, adjusted ROTC, and revenue growth tied to executive compensation. AlphaSense for Understanding Business Development Brian explains that the use cases and projects of consultants using AlphaSense  vary, but one major use case is business development understanding. It helps in identifying companies' propensity for M&A or divestitures, such as changes in management or new strategic initiatives. AlphaSense also offers a deal scanner for M&A consultants looking at acquisitions or private equity deals across a portfolio of companies or industries. It also provides due diligence services, such as meeting prep, company research, trend analysis, market assessment, client benchmarking, and sentiment analysis. Alpha Sense's Access to Information Providers AlphaSense has access to SEC filings, newspapers, trade journals, investment bank coverage, and reports. AlphaSense also has access to other information providers like CrunchBase, capital, IQ, and Pitch Book. The Venn diagram highlights the overlap of information between AlphaSense and other information providers, such as CrunchBase, Morningstar, and CrunchBase. If a company's revenue or employee count is in CrunchBase, it can be accessed via AlphaSense. Alpha Sense vs. Capital IQ The conversation turns to the differences between AlphaSense and Capital IQ, a financial reporting platform. AlphaSense is an end-to-end intelligence engine that provides access to investment banking reports, but it requires downloading them one by one. It is not possible to search across all content sets at once. Capital IQ, on the other hand, offers valuable structured data, is great for downloading Industry Reports, and is a strategic database of financials and filings. It is also useful for importing statistical or financial models into Excel. AlphaSense, on the other hand, is an end-to-end intelligence engine that provides decision-ready insights across billions of data points.

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss consulting firm's training.   Too often clients ask the wrong questions when it comes to assessing training at consulting firms: do smaller offices have poorer training, should I attend training as soon as I join, does BCG have better training than Bain etc. When considering training you need to both consider formal and informal training. As we show, formal training is very useful, but not at all for the hard/technical skills it purports to impart on attendees. Informal training, also known as training on an engagement, is most effective when consultants can practice under diverse conditions. In other words, the more you travel and work with foreign teams, the better will be your training. Some firms encourage more global staffing and others far less.

Le secteur du luxe, souvent considéré comme une valeur refuge, connaît aujourd'hui une phase d'incertitude rare, qui en fait un placement risqué à court terme. Selon une étude du cabinet Bain & Company, réalisée avec la Fondation Altagamma, l'année 2025 pourrait marquer l'une des pires turbulences que le secteur ait connues depuis la crise de 2008.1. Un contexte géopolitique et économique tenduL'étude souligne que les ventes de produits de luxe sont très sensibles aux incertitudes. Or, 2025 débute dans un climat tendu : conflits armés, tensions commerciales, instabilité des monnaies, et volatilité des marchés boursiers. Résultat : la confiance des consommateurs se fragilise. Les acheteurs fortunés, même s'ils ont les moyens, adoptent une attitude plus prudente face à l'incertitude, ce qui pèse directement sur les ventes.2. La Chine et les États-Unis en ralentissementLes deux marchés phares du luxe mondial — la Chine et les États-Unis — montrent des signes d'essoufflement. Aux États-Unis, ce sont surtout les fluctuations tarifaires et la crainte d'un ralentissement économique qui freinent les dépenses. En Chine, l'attitude attentiste de la classe moyenne supérieure, autrefois moteur de la croissance, est liée à un climat d'anxiété économique interne et au durcissement du contexte immobilier.3. Un retour à la normale après l'euphorie post-CovidJoëlle de Montgolfier, directrice du pôle luxe chez Bain, rappelle que la forte croissance observée après le Covid n'était pas durable. Le marché est aujourd'hui en phase de normalisation : après un chiffre record de 1.478 milliards d'euros en 2024, les ventes d'articles de luxe personnels (mode, maroquinerie, joaillerie…) pourraient reculer de 2 à 5 % en 2025. Dans le scénario le plus pessimiste, la baisse pourrait atteindre jusqu'à 9 %.4. Une perspective à long terme toujours solideMalgré tout, les experts ne parlent pas d'un effondrement, mais d'un recalibrage. Le marché reste globalement sain, et l'appétit pour le luxe demeure fort à l'échelle mondiale. Mais pour les investisseurs, cette période de transition est délicate. Les entreprises du secteur (comme LVMH, Kering ou Richemont) voient leur valorisation chahutée en bourse, du fait de perspectives de croissance temporairement dégradées. Hébergé par Acast.

 On April 24, I joined the Spotlight On podcast for a conversation about the future of private equity. Naturally, we talked about the game-changing promise of generative AI, but I also sounded a note of caution. While we've seen remarkable enthusiasm and activity in deal sourcing operations and portfolio management, what we haven't yet seen is the kind of deep impact that many are talking about and predicting. There's progress along many fronts but no silver bullet in sight just yet.What you're about to hear is a lightly edited excerpt of our conversation, in which I offer my latest thinking on how to navigate this experimental phase, including how we're using generative AI here at Bain. I'd like to thank my host, Nick Barton of the Barton Partnership, for such a thought-provoking exchange.

Hugh MacArthur is the Chairman of Bain & Company's Global Private Equity Practice, which he helped found more than thirty years ago. Hugh's consulting team works on around 5,000 investment opportunities every year and comprises the largest practice area at Bain. He also hosts the “Dry Powder” podcast, my favorite in the private equity space.   Our conversation covers Bain's work in private equity across due diligence, sourcing, value added support, and strategy for both GP and LP organizations. We then discuss findings from Bain's latest Global Private Equity Report, including data on the slowdown in deal activity, liquidity bottleneck, private wealth inflows, carveouts, AI, and competitive positioning. We close with Hugh's perspective on the winners and losers of the next era, and the strategies GPs and LPs need to pursue to come out on the right side of a changing industry.   Learn More Follow Ted on Twitter at @tseides or LinkedIn Subscribe to the mailing list Access Transcript with Premium Membership

Joseph Woodbury had his future planned out. With a prestigious job lined up at Bain & Company after college, he was on the fast track to a secure, high-paying career. That all changed when his co-founder came to him with a simple yet groundbreaking idea born from a personal frustration: Why pay a fortune for a commercial storage unit miles away when there are empty garages, sheds, and driveways in every neighborhood? Joseph decided to turn down his corporate job and risk it all on this new venture, a choice that would lead to the creation of a revolutionary platform in the sharing economy.That simple idea evolved into Neighbor.com, the "Airbnb of self-storage," a tech startup that has now expanded to all 50 states. The platform connects people who need storage with those who have extra space, creating a powerful stream of passive income for hosts. From the average homeowner earning thousands a year by renting out an empty garage to a middle school teacher making an extra $30,000 annually from her loft, Neighbor.com is turning underutilized property into a cash-flowing asset. Some hosts are even scaling their operations into seven-figure earnings, proving that your unused space holds incredible financial potential.In this episode, Joseph Woodbury joins Ryan Atkinson to break down the business growth model that's disrupting the $40 billion storage industry. Listen in to discover how to audit your own home for profitable spaces, the secrets to building a successful marketplace from scratch, and the strategies to generate thousands in truly passive income. If you're looking for your next entrepreneurship idea or a new way to build wealth, this interview will show you how to find opportunities right in your own backyard.Takeaways:- The company was founded after a co-founder's poor experience with traditional storage, inspiring Joseph Woodberry to turn down a prestigious corporate job at Bain & Company to launch the startup from college.- As the "Airbnb of self-storage," the platform enables hosts to earn truly passive income by renting out their unused space, requiring only about 30 minutes of management per month on average.- Hosts can generate substantial revenue, with earnings ranging from thousands of dollars annually for a simple driveway to over $120,000 a year for those who optimize larger properties.- The platform allows for the monetization of almost any space imaginable, from residential garages and lots to larger commercial properties and even the parking lots of churches.- Neighbor.com builds trust by being a safer alternative to traditional facilities—with much lower break-in rates in residential areas—and by backing it up with a $1M host guarantee and up to $50k in renter protection.- A constant focus for the business is solving the "chicken-and-egg problem" of acquiring enough local hosts (supply) to satisfy the demand from renters in every new market. - Joseph's key advice is to build a business around a problem you are passionate about, viewing the startup journey itself as an invaluable experience that makes you more hirable, not less.- A key feature is the "Smart Pricing" tool, which uses machine learning to automatically adjust listing prices to help hosts maximize their income with minimal effort.- The company's growth was accelerated by the cultural shift created by pioneers like Airbnb and Uber, which made consumers comfortable with peer-to-peer business models.- Despite being active in all 50 states, the company's biggest remaining obstacle to future growth is widespread brand awareness, which takes years of word-of-mouth to build.Tags:  Tech Startup, Tech Ventures, Entrepreneurship, Passive Income, Business Growth, Neighbor.comResources:Start Your Business Today: links.upflip.com/43YNzum Connect with Joseph : https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephwoodbury
